NCT ID NCT06981208
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether using ChatGPT to create personalized educational materials helps patients better understand their breast reconstruction options before surgery. Participants scheduled for a breast reconstruction consultation are randomly assigned to receive either ChatGPT-generated education or the usual information from their surgeon. After their consultation, both patients and surgeons fill out surveys to measure understanding, satisfaction, and the usefulness of the AI-generated materials.
